The Blue Book of Nebo is basically my favourite YA novel ever so I'm obviously very excited to read this! #UKLALucky13th

RIP Maryse Condé - a true titan of world literature. Crossing the Mangrove remains one of the most challenging but ultimately rewarding novels I have ever taught and is a great place to start for anyone wanting to explore her work.

Happy publication day, Carol Atherton! I loved this book and will be buying copies for pretty much everyone I know as it does a much better job than I've ever managed of explaining the strange but necessary work we English teachers do. Here is my review: netgalley.co.uk/book/310864/re…

I’m looking forward to leading the 11-14+ group and diving back into this wonderful shortlist, & would encourage all #UKLA members to sign up for one of these groups - it’s such a great way to discover and explore some of the very best books being written for young people today!
